Easy 30-Minute Homemade White Chicken Chili
Who can say no to a bowl of warm, thick chili that’s loaded with tender chicken and hearty cannellini beans. It’s some of the best chili I’ve ever had and is robustly flavored from sweet Vidalia onions, jalapeno peppers, and green chilis. The chili has mild to medium kick, but you can make it spicier by using the jalapeno seeds or by adding more red chili flakes or cayenne pepper. It’s so easy and ready in 30 minutes. To save time, use a storebought rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken that you have on hand. Salt your chili to taste. I use low-sodium chicken broth, low-sodium beans, and add a bit of salt to the chili so I can control the overall salt level. It makes enough to stash half in the freezer for the future.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups sweet Vidalia or yellow onion, peeled and diced small (about 2 medium/large onions)
- 1 large jalapeno pepper (about 4 to 5 inches long), diced very small (the seeds are where the heat is concentrated; included or discard them based on preference)
- 7 to 8 ounces canned green chiles, don’t drain (I used mild heat)
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minced
- 32 ounces (4 cups) low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 cups shredded cooked chicken (use about 1 whole storebought rotisserie chicken to save time; or roast or cook your own chicken in a skillet)
- two 15-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed (see step 4 below about blending 1 cup of the beans with a splash of chicken broth or water)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional and to taste
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely minced
- tortilla strips, chips, crackers, diced avocado, shredded cheese, and/or sour cream; all are optional for garnishing
DIRECTIONS:
- To a large Dutch oven or stockpot, add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat to warm.
- Add the onion, jalapeno, green chilis, and sauté for about 7 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Stir intermittently.
- Add the garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir intermittently.
- Add the chicken broth, chicken, cannellini beans including whole beans and blended bean mixture (take 1 cup of the beans, add to a food processor or blender, add a splash of chicken broth or water and blend until smooth; mixture should be thick. Add the blended bean mixture along with the whole beans to pot), lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, red chili flakes, optional cayenne pepper, and bring to a boil. Allow mixture to boil gently for about 7 to 10 minutes. It’s unlikely, but if at any point the overall liquid level looks low or you prefer your chili to be thinner, add 1 cup of water or as desired; you’ll adjust the salt and seasoning levels at the end. For thicker chili, allow mixture to boil longer and reduce until desired thickness is reached.
- Add the cilantro and boil 1 minute.
- Taste chili and add salt to taste. This will vary based on how salty the chicken broth, beans, and rotisserie chicken are, and personal preference. Make any necessary seasoning adjustments (i.e. more salt, pepper, cumin, cayenne, lime juice, etc.).
- Ladle chili into bowls, and optionally garnish with tortilla strips, chips, crackers, avocado, cheese and/or sour cream; serve immediately. Chili will keep airtight in the fridge for 5 to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup (Chili’s Copycat Recipe)
This dreamy Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup tastes like the kind at Chili’s, only better! It is a simple soup that has a unique flavor thanks to Masa Harina (corn flour). There are no veggies in the soup; instead you make Pico de Gallo and serve it as a generous topping! It’s one of my all time favorite soups!
Servings: 10
Calories: 232kcal
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 large onion diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 cloves garlic smashed and minced
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup masa harina
- 1 (10-oz) can enchilada sauce any kind you like
- 1 pound Velveeta chopped into 1-2 inch chunks
- 1 pound shredded chicken I love rotisserie chicken*
- Salt and pepper
- Pico de Gallo to serve with soup, not optional
For garnish
- shredded cheddar cheese
- crumbled corn tortilla chips
- sliced avocado
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium high heat. When it is hot, add the chopped onion. Saute over medium high for about 4 minutes, until the onions are starting to look translucent.
- Add 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons each of cumin and chili powder.
- Add minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds, or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add 5 cups chicken broth. I love to combine water with Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base; I use this product every time a soup calls for broth.
- In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, add 2 cups of water. Add 1 cup of masa harinagradually, whisking constantly. (This helps avoid graininess.) Add masa mixture to the pot.
- Add the can of enchilada sauce and the chopped Velveeta to the pot. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring every now and then.
- Once the soup has come to a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium low.
- Add the shredded chicken. If you just carved a rotisserie chicken, you can add a few larger chicken bones to the pot so that it absorbs the flavor while the soup simmers.
- Simmer the soup for 30-40 minutes or until it is nice and thick.
- Meanwhile, make the Pico de Gallo, click here for the recipe.
- Serve soup garnished with a generous amount of fresh Pico de Gallo, (again, this is a required component of the soup!)
- Optional toppings include shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled corn tortilla chips, and avocado slices.
Notes
*You can also cook your own chicken if you don't have any rotisserie chicken on hand. Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large soup pot over medium heat. Sprinkle generous salt on 3 large chicken breasts (1 pound raw chicken). Add it to the pot and brown for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are no longer pink. Remove chicken from pot to a plate and shred with 2 forks. Set aside. Continue with the recipe in step 1 by adding the onions to the pot, only adding a bit more oil if necessary.
